Another Me
Past exhibition
19 SEP – 3 NOV 2019
Another Me unlocked preconceptions of arts in criminal justice
This 2019 edition of the Koestler Awards exhibited over 150 artworks, including music, poetry, paintings, drawings and sculpture, which spoke of their makers’ concerns, hopes and dreams, and illuminated the talent in UK prisons and secure settings.
Mercury-nominated and MOBO-winning Kinch, one of the most versatile young musicians in both the British jazz and hip-hop scenes, used his curatorship to put music at the forefront of the exhibition for the first time.
Kinch comments, ‘As a composer and performer I’m often drawn to works with a powerful sense of narrative, and those which challenge myths and stereotypes.’
Another Me challenged expectations and illustrates what goes on beneath the surface of the human psyche, inviting visitors to reassess their perceptions of people who have spent time inside.
Another Me was the 12th exhibition produced by Koestler Arts in partnership with Southbank Centre.
